On December 1st the farmers Of the
State assembled in Columbia at the
agricultural Hall and a goooly num-
berof persons present: some few
counties refusing or neglecting to seno
up any representatives.
The meeting was entirely harmoni-
sousand appeared to be, what it in re-
atty was, body of sound, sensible,
and patriotic South Carolina farmers,
met for the purpose Of looking, prims-
rily, after the passage of the Agricul-
tural College Bill, and in every way
TO promote the wel-being OF the farm
Sing community.
The President made strong speech
in furtherance Of their aims, and es-
sayed to convince his co-workers that
the State is fully able to meet the cost
ofconstruction and equipment OF this
college-worthy the effort anyway.
As to whether the business viii pay,
considered as an abstract subject, we
viii not here discuss. It has had the
attention, care, and thought of many
wise and good men; and the farmers,
who are IN reality the backbone of
the country, appear to want the Insti-
tuition, there is no reason, therefore,
why they should not have it. We are
disposed to welcome, with open arms,
Sny Institution of learning.
The. great harmony and good feel
ing existing, shows out in bright and
cheerful aspect, when compared with
the meeting of last year. Then, all
that farmer Tillman had to do was to
plan, denounce, and doom, and it was
Wen-nigh done. But reason has taken
the place of harrangue, and quiet de-
liberation superseded denunciation.
This course will be found and has al
ways been observed to be the one fin
ally dominant and overpowering
While the farmers are determined, and
Justly so, to maintain their rights, we
hear no invasion Of the domain of 9TH
ers. The time has come and with no
uncertain sound the proclamation of
the sovereign people gone forth
through their representatives, Stbat
Tillman can only agitate them in fu-
ture through the generous rivalry OF
raising corn, hogs, and cotton-some-
thing more, at least. than afre-eating
campaign against our constituted au-
thorities, and all who may chance to
differ with him. Exit Mr.. Tillman!

An Easy Cure for Sleeplessness

had frequently noticed that when en-
gagged in deep thought, particularly at
night, there seemed to be something like
compression of the eyelids, the upper one
especially, and the eyes themselves We're
apparently turned upwards, as if looking
in that direction. This invariably oc-
CURED; and the moment that by an
effort, l arrested the course of thought
and freed the mind from the subject
with which it was engaged, the eyes re-
sumed their natural position and the
compression of the lids ceased.
Now. it occurred to me one night that
l would not allow the eyes to turn up
wards, but kept them determinedly in
the opposite position, as if looking down;
and, having done so for short time.
found that the mind did not revert to the
thoughts with which ii had been occu-
pied, and soon fell asleep. tried the
plan again with the same result; and
after an experience of two years, | can
truly say that. unless when something
specially annoying or worrying occurred,
/ have always been able to go to sleep
very shortly after retiring to rest. There
may occasionally lie some difficulty in
keeping the eyes in the position described,
but a determined effort to do so is all
that is required, and am certain that if
kept in the down looking position, it will
be found that composure and sleep Will
be the result. Chambers Journal.

One Woman Prefers to Stay In Town and
Enjoy the Luxuries of Her Own Home.
There is a woman who ranks among
the half dozen richest of her sex in New
York, good looking, liked by society men
and women alike, measurably young
not very far on either side of the bound
airy line of 30, that is-who puzzles in
summer everybody who knows her. She
never goes out of town. She has a cottage
at Newport, but has not opened it in five
years; she has a house at Lenox, but
visits it only in the early spring, when
the first flowers are peeping from under
the snowdrifts, or in the late autumn,
when the leaves are turning. She is
widow, but it has never been supposed
that the vestiges of grief which does not
keep her from dancing in winter would
shut her up within brick walls in July
"What keeps you here in this weather."
reporter asked her, as the sun beat
against the closed blinds two or three
mornings ago.
II stay simply because l like it," she
replied "New York is summer resort
enough for me. Everybody passes through
the city from east, west, north or south
on their way somewhere in course of the
summer, and l meet more friends than
could in any other way. I have fancy
for being comfortable, too, and summer
is no time to try to be comfortable in the
country When it is hot there of all
times, one wants the conveniences of
ones own home"
but don't you pine for a sight of
something green?"
"For the matter of that have green

won't you?'
AT mention of a garden the writer's
eyes opened wide, for the house, like
many another in the city, covers every
inch of ground belonging to it that the
building laws allow. But my hostess led
the way, not out, but up. Her garden
was on the roof, and an elevator logged
lazily skyward with us. A roof garden
is New York whimsy, and this roof
was most elaborate. a light rail inclosed
the elevated promenade, and this was
completely hidden from view by the rank
growth of scarlet bean, nasturtiums, morn
ing glories and other climbers that ran
over it. Pots of palms, tree ferns and
every known plant that will stand the

over torrid city. Its not midday
resort exactly, but in the morning or at
twilight not the Catskills themselves have
a better breeze. And then you know
and the matter assumed an aspect not

The feverish activity of this generation,

MY UNKNOWN FRIEND.

cannot tell the country where thou art,
Or where, on height, or vale, or oceans brink,
Thy home doth stand; content with this frail
link
dwell, until know thee noble heart
That the same golden sun that strikes athwart
My threshold doth from your bright easement
sink;
Nights crescent and pale star of morn, l think,
Are warders where dream, though leagues
apart!
To show the wild wood road and tangled slope,
The plumed elms, the hilltop's dazzling reach,
The lingering stream and lane where lovers
stray,
To hear thee match dear thoughts and rival hope
Of mine, and thine own plans and phrases
teach,
VIII please NEON some long, uncaendared

When the sea winds gayly sing,
love to row when it's not too hot,
In a hammock love to swing.

In buggy to 60 to ride;
The world to me then looks fair and bright,
With sweet girl by my side.
love to sit by a winter fire
With novel, uncut, to read,

From business and bother freed.
love to watch where the cross bill swings,
Ger the pools where the shy trout lurk;
In short, love all sorts of things,
But do not love to work.

Shall he not.-Again the argument is from
the less TO the greater; If God so lavishes
beauty on the flowers and grass, whose life
is only for brief period, shall he not provide
for his nobler, his immortal creaturesl
VS.. 31-34. Such anxious though rs Is here
rebuked is heathenish and sinful such a lack
of faith as is suggested In this thirty-flrst
verse is unworthy of Gods children Genties.
All who are not Jews. The heather live
for today; they are without hope, without
God; they have, therefore, nothing else for
which to live than earthly things; the same
thing is true of many who profess and call
themselves Christians. They live for what
they can eat and see; but it should not be 80
with Gods true children, they should not
seek for these things with solicitude and inn
portunity, as the word here implies; there is
something better to live for. AS we see by
v. SO, Christ's teachings are not wholly mega
tive as given in the preceding verses; with
this verse we come to the positive side We
now see what we ought to seek. The king
dom of God.-This is to be sought first in
time and first In Importance. Righteousness
here Is conformity to Gods will. Seeking
this first, we seek earthly objects Alright. The
thirty-fourth verse seems to be summary Of
the teaching already given. The former ex-
hOrtatlOn Is repeated with addltlOnal reason.
Undue care for tomorrow units for the
duties of today.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED.
l. The man who gives any creature the first
place In his heart is an idolater. That place
belongs to God. Every idol should be de-
throned that Christ may be enthroned.
q Having done our whole duty, we are to
depend on God for food and raiment and all
spiritual blessings.
g. Seek first in time and in Importance the
kingdom Of God; then both worlds will be
yours He who seeks only this world loses it
in its best meaning, and heaven also.-Sunday
